Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 To All. What were your co-infections? Also he could be either herx or a flare? Does anyone know the difference? I can't recall when you can tell if it is flare or herx or how to distinguish between both. They only then I know a herx are usually signs when you are on abx, where a flare is when you are off antibiotic. Is this true?

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 So do you think I switch abx since it has been more than 4 weeks?

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 , My co-infection is babs., and the only was I can tell the differance for a herx and a flair up other than if I'm on antibiotics is the pain. I don't know how to explain it but it's differant. Sheryl Re: [ ] Is this possible?/Yes this is possible > To All. > > What were your co-infections? Also he could be either herx or a flare?

Ceftin is good, I did that along with Zithromax for 13-14 months. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
